Foremost on this list was Goal 1: "By the year 2000, all children in America will start school ready to learn." (National Education Goals Panel, 1998). Now that the new millenium has arrived, examination of the status of young children entering school shows that we have fallen short of meeting this goal. In this paper, we explore some reasons that the nation is not appreciably nearer to achieving this laudatory outcome and offer research and policy strategies that may help move the nation in this direction. |
